Time to Crank Up Heat on NFL, NCAA (No more Democrat pre-game show!)

Posted on 03/23/2004 5:52:41 AM PST by Buckeye McFrog

1992 - CBS uses a highly-rated Super Bowl game carried on their network as a lead-in to the Bill and Hillary Clinton smiling-happy-couple interview, which allowed them to diffuse the Gennifer Flowers controversy.

2004 - CBS uses an exciting, competitive weekend of NCAA Championship Basketball to lead into the outrageous and defamatory charges of one Richard Clarke.

It's time for all the Freepers out there to get wise to this. NFL, NCAA...time to insist that CBS stop using your highly-rated Championship games as a lead-in to distorted liberal Political Propaganda on 60 Minutes. Time to bombard the NFL and NCAA with demands that they either pull their games from CBS entirely, or prohibit them by contract from abusing the high ratings generated by these games to launch partisan political attacks. Most of America is conservative... the NFL and NCAA do not want to alienate us, and CBS for darn sure does NOT want to see their sports division implode.

These events are all competitively bid and the stakes are hundreds of millions of dollars. The NFL or NCAA doesn't care who wins, but only who offers the most dollars.

The leftost radicals will simply "pay" the station and then the station (through its minions) will "donate" back to the DNC an appropriate amount - let's say "double your money back?"

Yeah, right...CBS pays them billions (with a "B") of dollars...the whole purpose is to use the high ratings as a lead in....

Do you really believe this? If this is true, then why did Gore garner more votes than Bush last election, and why will this also be a 50-50 election?

Don't let your time on FR skew reality.

Gore got more votes because we DO NOT ELECT OUR PRESIDENTS BY POPULAR VOTE.

If Dubya had needed more votes, he could easily have gotten half a million more in Texas alone, where vast numbers of GOP voters stayed home simply because their votes were not needed - he and all other GOP candidates won Texas by an overwhelming majority, and I doubt Texas was an isolated case.

"If Dubya had needed more votes, he could easily have gotten half a million more in Texas alone,..."

You should have prefaced your comments with - "when you wish upon a star". At least that would have given warning to the fantasy world you live in.

How about turning off the TV altogether. Read a book. Get a part time job and pay off the mortgage or set aside money for retirement and/or the Grand Children.

As others have said, it's the network, not the leagues.
